Heh, I noted those two exact episodes without ever seeing that bumper in my old drinking game.
(A drink means a sip unless you have to finish it).

No disrespect intended to your hard work on the meme above, but I never realized how difficult the TPiR logo font is to read in large chunks of text until now...

Probably why they changed the closing credits from the logo font to Handel Gothic before the end of September 1972.
Plinkoman:
Is there a specific reason why Magic # is always played with a blue carpet in front of the game board?
MSTieScott:
I believe it has something to do with the reflectivity of the angled clear acrylic cover (which I think is angled for reasons of the magic floating effect). If there were just a naked floor in the front of the game, the clear acrylic (I don't know whether it's actually Plexiglas®) would reflect white, which would sort of wash out the image inside of the box. The blue carpet is darker, which allows the viewers to see the floating red ring more clearly.
You can see what happens when someone stands in front of the cover in 1446580722009993217[/tweet]]this video that the show tweeted (jump to about 2:12).
Magic Number is a more impressive build than it first seems. The floating ring is positioned perfectly so the mirror surrounding the price not only reflects the blue at the top of the box, but if the camera is at enough of an angle, it looks like the seams at the back of the box are visible through the ring (see attached photo). But in practice, the cameras are never positioned in such a way to show off that effect.
